A healthy take on the classic millionaire’s shortbread, a shortbread base with a “caramel” layer, topped with dark chocolate. These easy caramel slices are oil-free, refined-sugar-free, vegan and gluten-free!
Preheat your oven to 180°C / 350°F / 160°C fan and line a loaf tin with a strip of baking parchment paper.
Add the peanut butter and maple syrup for the shortbread base into a mixing bowl and mix until smooth. Add in your oat flour and mix until all is combined.
Press the dough into the bottom of the loaf tin until compact and flat. Bake for 10 minutes.
Make the peanut caramel whilst your shortbread is baking: combine the peanut butter, maple syrup and salt for the caramel and mix until smooth - it should be thick (see video).
Spread the caramel onto the shortbread crust and sprinkle over the cacao nibs or nuts if using. Place in the freezer to set.
Melt your chocolate. Once melted - add in your milk and mix until smooth, it should be smooth and runny.
Remove the shortbread from the tin and slice into 8 bars.
Spread the chocolate over the top as well as some flaked sea salt and pop in the fridge to set.
